That's a great shot.

What I would like to know is why does mine not light up like that? Is his pic photoshopped, because the lume on mine is not that intense, especially the hands.

Not sure. When I wear mine outside in sunlight for an hour or so, it gets very bright.

Hopefully the sun will come out this week and I can give it a better test run.

I charged it with a flashlight first, but it stays bright enough to read through the night.

I didn't measure, but it does seem more like 16.5 rather than 13.5 thick.
